Amblyopia ("lazy eye"), a condition in which a child's visual system gets "stuck" at a fuzzy level due to their brain not "learning" what a sharp image should look like at a young age.There can be various causes for amblyopia, such as strabismus (eye misalignment), refractive errors (need for glasses), or opacities in the front part of the eye.

At Pediatric Eye Care of Maryland, we are committed to making eye examinations an easy and stress-free experience for infants and children. With 3 board certified, fellowship trained pediatric ophthalmologists on staff who work alongside optometrists, orthoptists, and opticians, every member of our team has extensive experience with providing exceptional care to children of all ages.
